Putting to sleep and waking up Windows machines with Home Assistant
I begrudgingly tolerate some Windows machines on my network, because some games’ anti cheat malsoftware consider virtual environments cheating. While VMs do make it easier to manipulate the state of a video game to one’s advantage, it’s annoying.
Balancing between power saving and convenience, I want these machines up as quickly as possible when I need them, so I keep them in sleep and wake them up with Wake-on-LAN. Putting them back to sleep via remote desktop is mightily annoying, so I searched for remedies.
